5 year old son wants to transition

Today my child declared that he’s a pirate.

I’m taking him to the doctor to amputate his leg and give him a peg leg.

I was told we’re supposed to unquestionably affirm transitions.

Hey, you also need to get an eye removed and get a patch.

@Swoop62 Just a patch might work.

@Thatsright Might at that, but the kid may want to go all in with this pirate thing.

@Swoop62 That's a lot of want to!

@Thatsright Hey, if we can do a leg, why not an eye. After all he is 5 and able to make life changing decisions. Probably can even read a little but will be harder now with one eye.

@Swoop62 If he transitions into a girl pirate her name can be Peggy.
If the peg leg is too short she can be Ilene.
If he becomes a musician he can form a band and call it One Eye Gone.

@Thatsright Nice selections. Look at he/she and the possibilities for the future. we could still look to taking a hand off and going with a Hook. Then may even become a Captain or higher rank. How does Colonel Hook sound?
